Please don't go for the DUH answer. When do coaches make/announce who is dressing, starting in goal, etc? Or to provide immediately relevant text, who's still out for tonight's game in Hanover?
It probably depends on the coach and in the case of an injury, the severity of the injury. I've seen players come out for warm-ups, but not come out for the game. That's rare, but it happens. Though a certain former Big Red coach was notorious for it.
In terms of who's starting, typically that's known before warm-ups. In many cases, the starting goalie will lead the team onto the ice for warm-ups. They'll also get more reps during warm-ups.

According to Rule 2-4 of the NCAA hockey rules (http://www.ncaa.org/library/rules/2004/2004_ice_hockey_rules.pdf): [Q]Starting Lineup and List of Eligible Players
SECTION 4. a. Fifteen minutes prior to the start of the game, a list of names
and numbers of all eligible players and goalkeepers, including starting
line-ups, shall be submitted to the official scorer or referee. The coach of
the home team, having been advised by the official scorer or referee of the
names of eligible players and starting lineup of the visiting team, shall
name the eligible players and starting lineup of the home team; this information
shall be conveyed by the official scorer or the referee to the coach
of the visiting team. Changes or additions may not be made to the submitted
player eligibility lists (see 8-1).[/Q]
Also note that Rule 2-3(b) specifically permits that the players who warm up need not be the same as the players who dress and play:[Q]The 19 players and not more than three goalkeepers participating in the
pregame warm-up do not necessarily have to be the same players listed
on the official game report form. It is mandatory, however, that only
18 players and goalkeepers listed on the official game report form are
the players who shall dress for the game.[/Q]
